snakes and a brief look at dr brady barr

ok, i didnt really see a snake. i have seen one and i've even held one once but my entry is about this dream i had last night. my family had just moved in a new apartment. it was beautiful, a condominium type apartment where our place was at the end of the building's hallway where our own hallway led to the left and right sides of the building. The place was fully furnished with light furniture, not my style but i liked it.
for some strange reason, my father bought two snakes as pets. yup, the big poisonous ones. I think one of them was silver and colorful and the other was a black snake. in my dream they were a cobra and a rattlesnake though they clearly weren't. we were tying them up because they were dangerous and we were also making sure their mouths were shut. the black snake was completely tied but we were just starting on the silver one. we even had help from the people who caught the snakes.
we then left and my dad left to pick up my uncle and we left the snakes behind. when my mom, sister and i got back home, the silver snake had gotten loose and was in the process of eating the other black snake. i took my mom and sister out of there and locked the door.
it was a good thing my dad was already on is way back.
i checked the snake again inside the house and it became huge like a giant cobra from the movies. a big green giant cobra.
i then decided i hated snakes and left before it ate me.
my dad finally got home with my uncle, who i met outside. i asked him what we should do. my dad suggested we catch it and i said it was too big to be caught, i asked hime if i could kill it but i didnt have a gun and for something that big, i needed major firepower. my dad argued that we should spare its life and put it back in the wildlife. that is usually my stand though he hadnt seen how big the snake had become at this point.
ok this is the funny part, there was a small national geographic office right beside our home. so we contacted dr brady barr. who got there in 5 minutes. yup coolness.
of course i shook his hand :) im never shy around celebrities (including writers, scientists and sports personalities) and i love meeting people like that. i went back in and the snake had become an isis. half woman, half snake with 4 small feet. yes i know isis dont have feet its my dream. she was walking in our hallway before turning into a guy i think i know.
then i woke up.

i googled snakes and drams and got this where the author wrote:

In writing about Snake Symbolism, Gillian Holloway, Ph.D. wrote, "People who are dying or who have lost a loved one often dream of snakes, at or near the time of death. For whatever reason, these dreams seem involved with the psychic awareness of the transition from this life to the next...."
Carl Jung talks about a similar connection between earth and heaven in his discussion on the snake as a symbol for medicine. In Man and His Symbols, he writes, "perhaps the commonest dream symbol of transcendence is the snake, as represented by the therapeutic symbol of the Roman god of medicine Aeseulapius, which has survived to modern times as a sign of the medical profession. This was originally a nonpoisonous tree snake; as we see it, coiled around the staff of the healing god, it seems to embody a kind of mediation between earth and heaven."

which is nice...

the snakes were in the beginning the victims. we tied them up, drugged them. even when they escaped, well the silver one did anyway, it wasnt threatening us. it was just claiming our home. it didnt want to go out either even when the door was opened and it didnt kill anyone who was stupid enough to go in our house.

other web sites say that the snake can mean treachery, or something phallic. as if everything else isnt interpreted as a phallic symbol anyway. it is a fear that needs to be faced.

oh well. i like the first one. it is related to me because it is true. though something else is hidden in the dream. i just have to figure it out.
